The "pointer" subcommand indeed is listed under "Low level commands" by "git lfs" (without any arguments), and as such it probably can be considered for scripting use. However, before my fix in [1] the subcommand was printing both output targeted at humans and output targeted at scripts to stdout. After my fix, only output targeted at script goes to stdout, and output targeted at humans goes to stderr.
